The indigenous peoples of Baguio are the Cordillera people. We went to a little tourist village to find out how they lived. (This is probably our equivalent of going to a Native American historic site and seeing teepees and wigwams, if that helps ya any.)
This is a rice growing region. On our way to Baguio, we saw field upon field of rice paddies, marked into squares. Sometimes farmers were working them with plows, but they were mostly being worked with special tillers. All over Baguio there are small rice markets you can see as you drive through town.
The boys are sitting by an old Cordillera rice granary. The rice gods sit in the granary to protect the harvest.
